Who hasn’t sent a greeting card? The sending and receiving of a card is long standing tradition. The custom of sending and receiving greeting cards can be traced back to the ancient times of the Egyptians, who used papyrus scrolls to convey messages. Today, greeting cards are typically illustrated, folded cards featuring an expression of friendship,  or other sentiments. Mark’s Hallmark Kirkland, WA is the perfect place to find the card for your occasion. The store is located in the heart of downtown Kirkland at Park Place Center.

While greeting cards are associated with expressions of sentiment, cards are also given to commemorate and recognize special occasions such as birthdays and holidays. Greeting cards range in various styles, everything from blank to personalized musical pop up cards. Hallmark Cards is one of the world’s largest producers of greeting cards. The famous card company was founded by Joyce Clyde Hall in 1915 (although the adopted company name wouldn’t come until 1928). Why Hallmark? The company was named after the hallmark symbol used by London goldsmiths in the 14th century. Hall and his brother first began selling Valentines & Christmas cards. The two are recognized as the men who “invented” modern wrapping paper. Today, Hallmark has a large creative staff that consists of over 800 artists, designers, stylists, writers, editors, and photographers. This creative team generates more than 19,000 new and redesigned greeting cards and related products per year.
